William Kraig Kendall, formerly of Shawnee, died Friday, Jan. 20, 2012, in Oklahoma City at the age of 65.
A memorial service to celebrate his life will be at 2 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 4, in Oklahoma City, at Rococo Restaurant-Northpark in Northpark Mall at the intersection of Northwest 122nd and North May Ave.
Kraig was born June 28, 1946, in Concordia, Kan., the son of Robert Nevins and Bonnie (Cleveland) Kendall. He graduated from Shawnee High School, and went on to attend the University of Oklahoma and Hendrix College in Conway, Ark. He was a member of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity.
Always an entrepreneur, Kraig had professional success in the construction, real estate development, record/music production, consulting and various oil and gas related businesses. He was an avid fisherman and a huge Sooner fan. He never met a stranger, was instantly liked by all who met him, and was always there to help someone in need. But more than anything, he recently enjoyed reconnecting with old friends and family and spending time with his grandchildren.
Kraig is survived by his son and daughter-in-law, Khris and Laura Kendall, Fort Smith, Ark.; daughter and son-in-law, Amber and Bruce Rinehart, Oklahoma City; sister and brother-in-law, Kim and Buck Buxton, Ada; grandchildren, William Karson Kendall and Katherine Grace Kendall, Fort Smith, William (Will) Bruce Rinehart and Mitchell Brak Rinehart, Oklahoma City; nieces, Tiffany Pollack, Norman, Lashun Huff, Ada, Lori Thompson, Dallas, Texas, and their families; and more friends than could ever be counted.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Bob and Bonnie Kendall.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution in his honor to the charity of your choice.
